Attaching Files to the Call Report

Browser
CRM Desktop (Mac (Sandbox Beta),Windows)
iPad

Users can add attachments and notes to a call report to document additional, call-related information. For a user to add attachments or notes, the call report must be in saved or planned status and in view or edit mode.

For example, Sarah Jones has a sheet of hand-written notes from a call with Dr. Ackerman. Sarah takes a picture of the notes and adds that picture as an attachment, then saves the call report.

Ensure initial configuration is complete to use this functionality.
